Metal surfaces like manhole covers and bridge gratings:
D. Are especially slippery when wet — Metal surfaces are very slippery, especially when wet. Cross them slowly, upright, and avoid leaning if possible.
Railroad tracks and grooved pavement should be crossed at:
C. As close to a 90-degree angle as safely possible — Crossing railroad tracks, expansion joints, or grooved pavement at a sharp angle (close to 90°) prevents the front wheel from being caught in the groove or slipping along the rail.
To turn a motorcycle at higher speeds, a rider uses:
D. Counter-steering — pushing the handlebar forward on the side of the desired turn — Counter-steering (push-steering) is used at speeds above about 15 mph. Pushing forward on the right handlebar initiates a lean and right turn. This is the primary steering input for cornering.
When merging onto a highway on a motorcycle, you should:
B. Accelerate to match highway traffic speed and merge into a safe gap — Use the entrance ramp to accelerate to highway speed, signal, check mirrors and blind spots, and merge smoothly into a safe gap in traffic. Merging at low speed forces highway drivers to brake dangerously.
Motorcycle riding scenario 22: At intersections, what is the best defense against a left-turning vehicle?
B. Slow, cover the controls, and make yourself visible — Slow, cover the controls, and make yourself visible. The motorcycle operator manual stresses smooth control inputs, visibility, and planning ahead. This response gives the rider time and space to manage the hazard safely.
In Nebraska, may a rider 21 or older legally ride without a helmet?
C. Yes — if they hold a Class M license and complete an approved motorcycle safety course — In Nebraska, riders 20 and younger must always wear a helmet. A rider 21 or older may go without one only if they hold a Class M license and complete an approved motorcycle safety course.
When carrying a passenger, you should:
D. Allow more stopping distance and start braking earlier — Extra weight increases stopping distance and affects handling. Brake earlier, allow more following distance, and adjust riding accordingly.
When turning left at an intersection, a motorcycle is most at risk from:
B. Oncoming vehicles that misjudge the motorcycle's speed and pull out — Left turns are the most dangerous maneuver for motorcycles. Oncoming drivers frequently fail to see or correctly judge an approaching motorcycle's speed and pull into the intersection, causing a collision.
Which surface provides the least traction for motorcycles?
C. Painted road markings when wet — Painted lines, crosswalks, arrows, and other road markings can become very slippery when wet, giving motorcycle tires much less grip.
When a car is waiting to turn left across your path at an intersection, you should:
D. Slow down, cover your brakes, and prepare for the car to turn — Assume the driver may not see you. Slow down, cover your brakes, and be prepared to stop or swerve if needed.
